A Short One
contrary to popular opinion, i have not fallen off the face of the earth.
nor have i let this blog "die."
i've just been on vacation.
yes. since April 25th i've been on vacation.
...
anyways, i've been reading a great book recently called "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. it is brilliant. i am loving it. i have to keep myself from highlighting every line. clearly and concisely written, Collins presents great principles that can be implented practically as well. i can't help but think about Cru this year as i'm reading through and reflecting on my past experiences as a leader and working with other leaders.
u know how some ppl's heart rates pump faster when they read a great fictional novel? apparently a business book does it for me. ew. i'm such a nerd. i think that's pretty unappealing. i may have just dashed any chances of finding a girlfriend amongst the female population that reads this blog.
other great (fictional) books i would recommend that i've recently read/am reading:
- The Kite Runner
- The Known World (also currently in the process of reading).
maybe i'll give a little bit of a summary later on.
i feel like i'm blogging just for the sake of blogging right now.
i'd also like to dedicate this particular posting to Lyds, who was excited that i was blogging again even though i told her this post may be 'weh.'
um, ok.
that is all.

You're back! It's so good to hear from you!! I hope your summer has been awesome and that you've been enjoying your vacation. When do you head back to Ottawa? Let me know!
About your excitement over a business book...if I can get super excited over criminal law books and make myself feel like a HUGE NERD because of it, you can definitely get excited about a businss book :)! Besides, a little nerdiness is definitely more appealing than stupidity.
Anyway, that's all for now. Hopefully I'll talk to you soon.

Whoa, look, you post and suddenly have 11 comments! Does this mean no one reads my blog?? AHahahaha. You know, this was an honest blog. I think you captured your nerdy business-loving side really well. I think it could have been supplemented with some comment on organizational structures, but eh, can't win 'em all. Ahahahahaha.
